This ebay auction has a 180 speedo.

Never seen one of these before, and curious if anyone knows which model car it may have come from.

Asked the Seller if it was mph or kph but never got a reply.

[M3M3]

that would be kph. 180 kph is about 120mph.

that would be kph. 180 kph is about 120mph.

It may well be kph, although it works out to 112mph, which is perhaps a tad low for an '02. Maybe the 1502 had this?

I know RHD tiis (& my RHD Touring for some reason) had 140mph speedos, and I think the Turbo, for Countries with miles, had a 150mph speedo.

+1 on the 180 KPH speedo but 180 KPH is a little over 110 MPH. I have a 180 KPH speedo in my Euro cluster that I picked up at an auto flea market in Germany in 2008, it's now in my parts bin. 180 KPH speedos were stock on 1502, 1602, & 1802. I believe 2002's had a 200 KPH speedo and ti and tii had a 220 KPH speedo. The tach was probably installed after it left the factory since Euro 1502, 1602, & 1802 came with a clock instead of a tach. My 75 1802 that I had in Germany in the early 80's came with a clock (pulled a cluster from a wrecked 02 fixed the no tach problem) and the Euro cluster in my parts bin has a clock as well.

It is 180kph and it's from a 1502.

1600 voll cabrio in for repairs had this speedo.

Here in europe, 180km speedo was original in 1600-2, 1802 and 2002.

2002tii had 200km speedo, 2002ti had 220, and turbo have 240.

Altough alpina used 240 speedos on some tii's and all of tii alpina have 220, i did came up with one 180km in alpina 1600 ti, fully rally car, it has also full cluster without a rpm-meter, and have hole beside the closter, the seller by parts said that it was up to 14000rpm, and one did took it before me.

So i did buy closter and install it in my car with 220km and rpm-meter, i have 180 alpina cluster and watch for sale. If anyone is interested.

Thanks "our kid". Interesting reading.

I keep learning something new every day about these '02s.
